Christo's On Alki

I was looking for breakfast food at 2:00 this past Sunday on Alki. I thought impossible! No one on Alki is going to serve breakfast at 2 PM. Then I discovered Christo's which serves breakfast until 3 PM. I ordered the Greek Village Omelet. It comes loaded with sausage, feta cheese, and hash browns. The breakfast was delicious one of the better breakfast places I've been to. Service was excellent my water never ran out. From the outside Christo's On Alki looks like it only serves Italian food such as pasta and pizza, but don't be fooled visit Christo's On Alki for breakfast.

Oyster Bar on Chuckanut Drive Best for Romatic Dinners

I had the pleasure of Dinning at the Oyster Bar on Chuckanut Drive a couple years ago. This review is from memory, but I had to include it in my blog since dining there has left a vivid memory in my mind. It has to be one of the most romantic restaurants in the state of Washington. First of all anyone that has been up to Bellingham and driven on Chuckanut Drive knows the scenery is already breathtaking. The Oyster bar is situated on a cliff just off Chuckanut Drive over looking the water and San Juan Islands. It's a very cozy restaurant with limited seating so be sure to make reservations. If possible make reservations so you and you're date can watch the sunset. Visit the official web site here. You will not be disappointed. If you decided to go I'd love to hear what you think. Please feel free to post your own review of the Oyster Bar or any other restaurant on my blog.

Coyote's on Alki Beach Grand Opening Review

I think everyone could have called this, but Coyotes on Alki says “closed till further notice." Coyotes is Alki's most recent casualty.


Coyote's on Alki just opened up on Alki Beach in West Seattle. The place was packed, but surprisingly we were seated in just minutes. This past Sunday it was in the 80s and what better way to spend the afternoon than at the water on Alki Beach eating some Mexican food. Mexican food always goes well with the heat. My girlfriend and I were first served chips, the multi colored kind, the standard at all Mexican Restaurants. The chips unfortunately were not heated served only at room temperature. I prefer the chips that are hot and fresh. Coyote's salsa tasted good, but not as good as Azteca's so I'd rate it average. I ordered the Carne Asada medium well and a house margarita and my girlfriend ordered the halibut fish and chips. The main course came out shortly thereafter, the potions were average for a Mexican Restaurant which is usually too much to eat anyway, but needless to say I wouldn't have it any other way. That's why people go to Mexican restaurants in the first place for the great food, and even greater portions. The unblended peach margarita was delicious, way, way above average. If tasted smooth and was an honest tequila filled drink .The Carne Asada was tender and with the sour cream and guacamole rolled into a soft flour tortilla it was delicous. My girlfriend’s fish and chips looked good, but the halibit was disappointing. The fish had a strong fishy taste (even stronger than the normal fishy taste fyi) and the breading was bland with most of the taste coming from the oil. My first question to my girlfriend is why the heck is she ordering fish and chips at a Mexican Restaurant? Since Mexican restaurants aren't usually known for their fish unless you visit Mazatlan Mexico where the seafood is awesome (Try the lobster or shrimp quesadillas) my advice is stick to the meat, beans, and rice variations on Coyote’s On Alki’s menu it will save you a very obvious lesson. Overall the food was average.

3 out of 5 (Alright place, pretty average, overpriced, my GF and my cousin both complained about the service here saying "waitresses had attitude." I didn't see it, but both wanted to point this out.)
